My collection consists of 100% MP3 music from 2 sources: - my own ripped CDs (1/3) - downloaded files (2/3) from legal places (mostly). I haven't got any vinyl as a physical format. Why MP3? Our local music market is toooo poor for my advanced tastes. My music interests are concentrated in Adult & Intelligent Club area: 1) Intelligent Trance / Progressive House (NOT Armin, Tiesto, Ferry etc, and of course NOT D.Guetta & Electro-House) 2) A bit of everything Melodic/Sad/Spacey & Intelligent & Deep & Not-so-slow 3) Underground electronic stuff (almost any kind) 4) Classical electronic stuff of appropriate styles till mid-1990-ies. I'm a big trancer, but it's a huge pity for me that: These things spoiled Real Trance Music Spirit: - 90% of 1990-ies HardTrance, that was influenced by Happy Hardcore - new century's trance pop-invaders like Tiesto, PvD, Ferry, Armin, L-Vee etc. 'thanx' to their easy robo-made melodies & standard synth-leads & basslines now Trance, my Trance in common is considered as sh!t. So now Techno is undergroundy/clubbey, even House is mainstreamy/clubbey/undergroundy, and Trance is just mainstreamy/clubbey. wtf? My electronic persons #1: James Holden, Oliver Lieb My labels #1: Platipus (!!!), Border Community, Bedrock, Baroque... etc My rating style is exactly structured: 5 - emotional, this one catches my soul 4 - groovy, very good production 3 - simple, sound for a background 2 - annoying, just for collection 1 - shitty, i'd throw it away if not money paid Here are my Hit Lists (just started to keep a record of it): Trance/Progressive Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (James Holden Remix) Leama - Melodica Guy Gerber - Stoppage Time Holden & Thompson - Come To Me (Original Mix, Club Mix, Last Version) Britney Spears - Breathe On Me (Holden Vocal) Depeche Mode - The Darkest Star (Holden Remix) ... Vocals in Progressive: Paul Oakenfold - The Harder They Come Gabriel & Dresden - Tracking Treasure Down Way Out West - Mindcircus Holden & Thompson - Nothing ... Trance Classics Jones & Stephenson - The First Rebirth Nostrum - Blowback, Baby, Brainchild 4Voice - Catching The Scent Of Mystery ... Other Electronica: Portishead Orbital Underworld Leftfield ...

Rob Acid - Anton - 11-Jul-08 06:06 AM
...Let me introduce a brief go-through review for this qualitative acid release:
A - [=trancey] - hardey techno beat with gasoline-saw-like acid bassline support and prolonged sad trancey synth pad
B1 - [=funky] - the beat is supported by a funky sole sound reminding Duft Punk's "Burning", bassline's made of muffled acid
B2 - [=untergrunt] - minimal monotonous underground acid techno with muffled active acid bassline - mind-eating kool B-side track
RESULT - kool 24/7 acid techno

Shiloh is a well-known duo in a progressive house scene. They started as leaders of a new original trance reborn wave in a new progressive house sound appearance - very sophisticated fx-ed deep atmospheric one. Their colleagues in the sound were also famous Benz & MD, Ozgur Can.
In 2006 under the influence of another wave started by Benni Benassi, Shiloh swithed their creativity direction to mainstream popular electro house. A pity. But let's see what they can do else after the electro will go away from dancefloors like in mid-1990-ies speed-garage did.

This release reminds of what Christopher Lawrence, a famous US trance DJ does (mixes / produces) - groovy floor-oriented trance where a bassline and its qualities (variety, innovation, groove) play a bigger role and a main synth-sequence isn't cheesy but more trance-repitative giving way to the bassline,
unlike usual modern mainstream trance. Though ^^this kind of trance is much less mainstream-like than FAT (Ferry, Armin and Tiesto :)
This music is better perceived on a dancefloor or in earphones of portable player on an active afternoon movement. For home listening there's another music
Austin Leeds - Force 51 / Moondiver - 02-Mar-08 08:10 AM
"Force 51" sounds very strange, simply stupid and Holden-IDM-like at the same time. Seems like there was an attempt to invent some new sound playing with a progressive house track templates in a random way. But the attempt seems to fail. The track is neither dance-able nor home-listen-able
"Moondiver" sounds better, at least there is an understandable track structure provided by progressive (trance) bassline. The sound is layered but minimal. I like it's boring underground sound when I don't think that it's a B-side of Force 51
A fact that Bedrock released the single on it's compilation "Foundations" is a sign that the Bedrock guys tried to show the world smth new. Did they manage to?

A nice mental and emotional track lying in a border of progressive house and trance. It will perfectly fit a 4-5 am DJ set with its medium energetix. Though catchy melodic layers won't let you sit down calm, feet are shaking without your will. Main melody is as simple as never - a loop consisting of 4 equal notes sequence changed 4 times, a synth containing very developed sample of vocoded and pitched up human "ah" sample used to be popular in happy hardcore and early hard-trance. Other layers are of 100% adult level, stimulating warm and cosy feelings. You have already felt these freat feelings, it's a sound of "total love" pensive mood!
